Major oil and gas platform constructed in China
China completes construction of massive offshore oil and gas platform
Platform is the largest of its kind built by Chinese companies
China has finished construction of an enormous offshore oil and gas platform, state media reported on Monday. The platform, which is the largest of its kind built by Chinese companies, is part of a major expansion of the country's energy infrastructure.
The platform, which is located in the South China Sea, is capable of producing up to 1.2 million tons of crude oil and 6.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. The project, which has been under development for several years, is expected to cost $13 billion.
The platform's construction is a significant milestone for China's offshore oil and gas industry. The country is currently the world's largest importer of oil, and is looking to increase its domestic production in order to reduce its reliance on foreign imports.
The platform is also a symbol of China's growing technological prowess. The country's shipbuilders and engineers have developed a number of innovative technologies that have been used in the construction of the platform.
